Jayhawks Seek Road Redemption vs. OSU
17 Feb
Summary
- Kansas looks to recover from an 18-point loss to Iowa State.
- The Jayhawks face Oklahoma State on the road, their seventh away game.
- Darryn Peterson is due for a strong performance after a poor outing.
Kansas faces a crucial road test against Oklahoma State this Wednesday, seeking to recover from an 18-point defeat to Iowa State. The Jayhawks, holding fourth place in the Big 12, are striving to maintain their conference title aspirations. This matchup represents their seventh away game in conference play.
Expectations are high for Kansas to reach 80 points, especially after a recent offensive struggle where they shot 37.3% against Iowa State. Oklahoma State's defense ranks outside the top 100 nationally, suggesting an opportunity for the Jayhawks to improve their scoring.
Darryn Peterson is anticipated to have a significant performance, a bounce-back game after a quiet 10-point outing in the previous meeting. Following national criticism, the projected No. 1 NBA draft pick is expected to exploit mismatches against OSU's guards.
Ultimately, the Jayhawks are predicted to secure a double-digit victory. Kansas has struggled in away games, with only one double-digit road win this season against K-State. However, Oklahoma State is on a three-game losing streak and has suffered multiple home losses by double digits, indicating Kansas could dominate if they establish an early offensive rhythm.
